Singapore-based robotics software firm Augmentus has secured $11 million in a Series A+ funding round to scale deployment of its no-code, AI-driven robotic systems for industrial automation.
The round was led by Woori Venture Partners, with participation from Singapore government-backed EDBI. Existing investors Sierra Ventures and Cocoon Capital also joined the raise.
Augmentus said the funding will support the rollout of its autonomous robotic surface finishing and welding solutions across Asia-Pacific and North America, while expanding research into adaptive robotic systems for high-mix manufacturing.
Founded in 2019, Augmentus offers a no-code platform that eliminates traditional programming for robots by integrating 3D scanning, artificial intelligence and adaptive motion control.
The company’s system enables manufacturers to generate robotic programs within minutes, reducing the complexity and downtime usually associated with automating variable tasks such as grinding, welding, or surface treatment.
The startup said it has sold over 50 systems across six countries, including Singapore, Australia, Germany, and the United States. It is now scaling operations through a dual-channel strategy, working directly with end users and through a growing network of system integrators.
Industry partners say Augmentus’ technology is helping to simplify complex industrial processes.
German automation company sentenso GmbH said its collaboration with Augmentus has improved the efficiency of shot peening systems by making them easier to deploy and more versatile in handling varied components.
The fresh capital will be used to fulfill growing customer orders and develop the next generation of what the company calls “Augmented Robotics”—hyper-adaptive systems that respond in real time to part variation, orientation changes, and live process feedback.
These features are viewed as critical to achieving closed-loop automation and greater factory flexibility.
Augmentus is positioning its platform as a solution to one of the major bottlenecks in factory automation: the need for expert-level programming in dynamic environments.
Its systems aim to bring human-like responsiveness to robots, addressing a growing demand in industries seeking to automate intricate processes without increasing overhead or requiring skilled roboticists.
The company’s vision is to make robotic automation accessible and scalable across sectors, and to bridge the gap between AI research and practical industrial deployment, per the announcement.
